Terra Necessary is a freelance illustrator, member of Atomic Pixies and educator. They have always worked to pursue art through a pop culture lens, working their art booth diligently as cons while earning a BFA in Drawing from Metro State College of Denver. They have shown and spoken on art and queer pop culture at shows across the US including Denver Pop Culture Con, Anime Expo, Otakon, Planet Comic Con, Drag Con, and more; as well as creating the queer event Dandy Con. With the Atomic Pixies they explore pop culture, science and fantasy through an art nouveau lens, and were recently featured in Westword.
Terra has been a nerd since they were a wee one, raised on Star Trek and X-files. Then Sailor Moon claimed their heart with a Saturday morning commercial in 5th grade and the rest was history. They are a jack of all trades with nerdy subjects, bouncing from astronomy to vintage animation to art history with ease. They adore classic art and art history, and love helping people find their artist joy.
